Danielle Smith

Danielle Smith started out with a simple yet adventurous life in Harare, Zimbabwe. Due to Zimbabwean politics she moved to Cape Town, South Africa in 2000 where she finished her schooling. She attended the University of Cape Town for 3 years studying Film and Social Anthropology.

After this she lived in London for two years where personal creative endeavours took a bit of a standstill, but developed as a person: a young girl from Africa in a very new fast exciting world. New thoughts, new friends and new insights of life.

Back in Cape Town she worked in Film Production which as exciting as it was did not allow for any time for creativity. At the age of 26 she sold her belongings and bought a ticket to Palma de Mallorca and started a new career working on Super-yachts as a stewardess and chef.

Her travels and life experience are influential in her work as symbols of renewal, starting over and constant change. Her paintings are enriched with multiple layers, similar to the stages and phases in life that are in constant flux. Now that she has grounded herself with her family she has everything she needs in order to live the creative life she has always wanted.
